Course Information
Description
This course is designed to provide the student an in-depth exposure to the field of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery and its principal subspecialty areas including otology, neuro-otology, head and neck surgical oncology. A combination of clinical opportunities in inpatient and ambulatory ORL-HNS subspecialties and related fields (i.e. radiology, radiation medicine, medical oncology, audiology, voice and swallowing)will be tailored to the career objectives of the student. The student will be an active participant on the inpatient service making rounds and providing care under the supervision of the attending physician and chief resident. Students will participate in the operating room and follow those patients post-operatively. Students will perform consultations in the outpatient clinic setting of attending physicians who will provide ongoing feedback about the students performance. Emphasis will be on increasing familiarity with clinical problems through direct patient contact and relevant background reading and through the acquisition of improved practical skills including performing the physical examination of the head and neck and operating room technique. Attendance at daily rounds, conferences, clinics and selected operations is expected. A half-hour presentation on a topic prepared from intensive reading is required. This course is strongly recommended for those considering a career in Otolaryngology.
